First prize for the Urban Water Buffer

The Dutch Procince Zuid-Holland arranged a climate adaptation challenge. The first prize is for the Urban Water Buffer. With the Urban Waterbuffer (UWB), rainwater in urban areas can be purified and retained for longer, without obstructing other functions at ground level. Exploratory research showed that an UWB can make a concrete contribution to the discharge of surplus rainwater and thus prevent flooding, while the stored rainwater can be used during dry periods (https://www.kwrwater.nl/en/projecten/the-urban-waterbuffer/) ...
